Looks like canvassing made a difference too! I invite residents of #FL11 to help flip our district blue. @BarbieHardnHall is the alternative to an entrenched rep who has been in congress for 44 years and does nothing except parrot MAGA talking points.

Now reading "They Knew" by @sarahkendzior . This passage really strikes home. "Today truths are not self-evident. Propaganda and disinformation operations aim to divert people away from the search for the evidence and toward easy answers and echo chambers."

@sarahkendzior Thanks Sarah! Best summary I've seen of our situation yet! I am recommending your books to my family and friends, hoping to open their eyes to reality and dispel the disinformation. They live in the Midwest so I think "The View From Flyover Country" will be a good introduction.

@ruthbenghiat We need to come out in numbers. I don't know what the chances are for an organized march on Washington over this but I would certainly be willing to participate. I think anyone who cares about the principles America was founded on would march for this.

@jimstewartson Good information. It makes perfect sense. @jennycohn1 had said Putin is behind the militant Christian nationalism we are seeing, too. Aspiring to be the leader of those groups as well.

@US_Stormwatch I strengthened my roof here in Central Forida by having 3" of closed cell polyurethane foam applied to the underside of the roof. I read a study by the University of Florida that estimates a 3x improvement against wind shear. Florida is still looking into the efficacy of this.

@itsJeffTiedrich The justice system itself is questionable. Too many cases of powerful people not being held accountable. It shouldn't even matter what our politics are, we should agree on this.

@jentaub We need campaign finance reform. R's outspent D's more than 4 to 1 in Florida and our D turnout shows it. Agree that outright election denial is now not a winning strategy but they will adapt and continue to whittle away rights and increase the income gap.

Underneath every problem we’re experiencing is a shadow oligarchy of psychopaths seizing the opportunity we handed them to deal a death blow to the woke concept of democracy. Reagan did a deal with the Ayatollah to seize power & started us down our long slide to serfdom. Watch.
